To @ZZ ywlw/n t man] concern.:

Be it knownl that WILLIAM G. VHrrnnnY, a citizen of the United States, residing' at Boonton, in the county of Morris and State oi" New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvenients in toys, and more particularly has reference to a dise or dial having characters such as figures, and provided with a movable hand, pointer, or indicator lor disclosing said characters when the dise or hand is rotated, one relative to the other. and more particularly is intended for and adapted Jfor use in combination with a wire structure termed as a top or jack, more particularly set iforth iny my (io-pending patent ai'ipliealion 45,313, tiled Feb. 16, 1921.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, liig. 'l illust-intestin perspective, parts being broken away, a suitable form olf dise designed as a dial upon a. top or jack strueture such as referred to. and shows the hands or pointers in position thereon, part of the dise being broken away. Fig. 2 is an enlargement ot' the same in plan View. Figl 3 is a cross-section on the line 3-3 ot' Fig. 2, looking trom left to right thereat. Fig. l is a plan view oi a suitable form ot' dial with the other parts eliminated. Fig. is an enlarged side elevation of the eyelet or shank passing through the centre oi the dial, and upon which the hands are mounted, and Fig. 6 is an enlarged plan view of one o1" the hands or pointers.

7 indicates the Wire structure which may Serial No. 505,698.

be used as a top or jack and as illustrated the hands are each shiited in the act of spinning so that when the top comes to rest a dilierent rea-ding will be indicated upon the dial each time the top is spnn. ln this way a child using the device as a top may be taught to read the time. or by variations in the cliaracters of the dial may be taught to read or discern other facts as may he Yfound desirable.

(l course it will he understood that various inmlitications may be made in the construction and arrangement ol? parts without departing' 'from the spirit ol the invention as claimed.

l claim:

ln a toy oij the class described, an integral wire structure adapted to he spun as a top, the spinning point ot the saine being formed at one end ol said wire. and the linger portion o'i said top being `formed at the other end ol said wire, a dial ine1nber adapted to be retained upon said linger portion, an indicator member also adapted to be retained upon said linger portion over said dial, and one of said members rotatable independently oi said structure.

ln testimony whereotl l hereunto aftix my signature.
